FAIRMONTÂ â After a month-long recess, the Marion Board of Education met for a brief meeting Tuesday to approve the annual school levy.
The Board originally met March 15 to review the proposed levy rates but had to wait for the state assessor to approve the rates. Tuesday s meeting was just to accept the rates, which we recently approved.
The levy saw a slight increase in budget over the previous year.
The excess levy is set to bring in $17,769,230 during the 2021-2022 fiscal year, an increase of over $115,000 from the previous.

PLEASANT VALLEYÂ â The Marion County Board of Education formally accepted Superintendent Randy Farley s retirement at its meeting Monday night held at East Fairmont High.
Board members voted to accept Farley s notice of retirement and then took turns thanking him for his 46 years of service to Marion County Schools. As always, I wish our retirees have as many years in retirement as they had in service, said Richard Pellegrin, board member. That would make Mr. Farley over 110 [years-old].
